I was glad to see this song pop up yesterday. A good mark of contentment (a topic we’ve been beating to death the last couple weeks) is if we’ll say ‘Hallelujah’ anyway. This is a catchy song by Rend Collective and Matt Maher, with lyrics we should both meditate on and put into practice. Enjoy!
I’ll find a way to praise
You From the bottom of my broken heart
‘Cause I think I’d rather strike a match
Than curse the dark
Yeah I’ll find a way to thank You
Though bitterness is real and hard
‘Cause I’d rather take a chance on hope
Than fall apart
I don’t think I’m ready to surrender to the dark
Chorus
Even if my daylight never dawns
Even if my breakthrough never comes
Even if I’ll fight to bring You praise
Even if my dreams fall to the ground
Even if I’m lost, I know I’m found
Even if my heart will somehow say
Hallelujah anyway
I hear a hymn of triumph
In the wilderness of my lament
In the lowlands or the mountain tops, I won’t forget
All that goodness that You have shown me
The promises that You have kept
There’s better days on the horizon up ahead
Let it rise, let it rise
In the dark, or the light
Oh my soul stand and fight
